They initially told us an hour wait but we've been dying to try it so we said we'd wait. Went across the street to this amazing little bar and they ended up calling us after 35 minutes! We had beautiful weather and got lucky that they sat us in the patio. The atmosphere was super chill and beautiful. The wings were delicious and crispy and the mozzarella sticks were good. Definitely our top 5 wing spot in Buffalo!

Food was absolutely amazing!! We had multiple recommendations to go here and it did not disappoint. We went for the wings (10, medium heat), chilli cheese fries and spinach bread and everything was beyond delicious. Thank you!

Came here for the wings which were crispy on the outside & juicy inside.. top tier wings as per all the other reviews. Friendly and attentive staff - especially before a Bills game - they were upfront with the wait time and gave some great recommendations. Enjoyed a couple bottles of Labatt's Blue.. what's domestic for me, is an import for them.

Best wings we tried in Buffalo. The Buffalo sauce and amount of crisp on the wings were perfect. I loved the French onion soup (wish I got a bigger size!) Highly recommend going here
